"In Paying with Plastic, David Evans and Richard Schmalensee provide a nontechnical distillation of their years of research
on the economic, technological, and institutional forces that have shaped the payment card industry. They show how competition
works in an industry that does not nearly fit any of the standard economic models. They describe how the entrepreneurs in
this industry solved the chicken-and-egg problem: merchants will not take cards if few consumers use them, and consumers will
not use cards if few merchants take them. They also describe how the payment card companies such as MasterCard and Visa have
developed complex systems for coordinating transactions among their thousands of bank members and millions of card-holders
and accepting merchants. Evans and Schmalensee also describe recent developments in the industry and consider its likely evolution."--Jacket

"Many of the most dynamic public companies, from Alibaba to Facebook to Visa, and the most valuable start-ups, such as Airbnb
and Uber, are matchmakers that connect one group of customers with another group of customers. Economists call matchmakers
multisided platforms because they provide physical or virtual platforms for multiple groups to get together. Dating sites
connect people with potential matches, for example, and ride-sharing apps do the same for drivers and riders. Although matchmakers
have been around for millennia, they're becoming more and more popular--and profitable--due to dramatic advances in technology,
and a lot of companies that have managed to crack the code of this business model have become today's power brokers. Don't
let the flashy successes fool you, though. Starting a matchmaker is one of the toughest business challenges, and almost everyone
who tries to build one, fails. In 'Matchmakers,' David Evans and Richard Schmalensee, two economists who were among the first
to analyze multisided platforms and discover their principles, and who've consulted for some of the most successful platform
businesses in the world, explain how matchmakers work best in practice, why they do what they do, and how entrepreneurs can
improve their chances for success. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an investor, a consumer, or an executive, your future will
involve more and more multisided platforms, and 'Matchmakers'--rich with stories from platform winners and losers--is the
one book you'll need in order to navigate this appealing but confusing world"--Provided by publisher

Harnessing renewable energy in electric power systems : theory, practice, policy by Boaz Moselle(

'Reflecting its reliance on fossil fuels, the electric power industry produces the majority of the world's greenhouse gas
emissions. The need for a revolution in the industry becomes further apparent given that "decarbonization" means an increasing
electrification of other sectors of the economy'in particular, through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the
options for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to
policymakers, as it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and the creation of new industries and jobs,
without the safety and political concerns of nuclear power or the unproven technology of carbon capture and storage. Drawing
on both economic theory and the experiences of the United States and EU member states, Harnessing Renewable Energy addresses
the key questions surrounding renewable energy policies. How appropriate is the focus on renewable power as a primary tool
for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? If renewable energy is given specific support, what form should that support take?
What are the implications for power markets if renewable generation is widely adopted? Thorough and well-evidenced, this book
will be of interest to a broad range of policymakers, the electric power industry, and economists who study energy and environmental
issues.'--Provided by publisher

Auction design and the market for sulfur dioxide emissions by Paul L Joskow(

Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 created a market for electric utility emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Recent papers have argued that flaws in the design of the auctions that are part of this market have adversely affected its
performance. These papers incorrectly assume that trade can only occur at auctions, however. Our empirical analysis of the
SO2 emissions market shows that the auctions have become a small part of a relatively efficient market and that the auction
design problems that have attracted the most attention have had no effect on actual market prices
